The moment the gun pressed against the back of my heart, he and I both smiled.
I spent my life calculating people's hearts, moving carefully at every turn. The only opponent I ever truly regarded was him. He was ruthless and merciless, with power enough to reach the heavens. He was the one and only nemesis of my life.
We fought for half our lives, from competing as young men to battling in the abyss, neither willing to yield. Then our enemies surrounded us. Bullets tore through the air, and a sea of fire erupted behind us.
Xiao Yanci suddenly pulled me into his arms, shielding me from everything with his body.
His warm blood soaked through my clothes. He gave a muffled groan, his voice low and trembling as he whispered:
“Next life... don't be my enemy again.”
I was reborn.
And so was he.
The people around us chattered noisily, unaware that these two sworn enemies, destined to fight to the death, now stood before each other again with memories of dying together in their previous lives.
The air was taut as a string ready to snap.
I looked away first, lightly touching my lips with a fingertip and curving them into the faintest smile. My voice dropped low enough for only the two of us to hear:
“Xiao Yanci.”
“In this life, how about we try something different?”
He stepped closer, his presence nearly suffocating, but in a corner no one could see, his gaze softened for a moment.
His thin lips parted, and he said only two words:
“Fine.”
“Let's join forces.”
